Dad was a mechanic AND Italian.....he told me once after swearing under the bonnet of a Fiat ," Italians should stick to making pasta !!!!"

one of the most reliable and best tractors we had was a SAME, they do get it right sometimes...
Iveco Looks good!! i'd give it a go for personal, but i'd be reluctant to let staff drive it!!!

Hey Chocko....you still alive ?

Yeah, but the game has definitely been lifted over the last 10 years or so.........compare the old notorious Ducati electrics to what's found on a current Multistrada......Ferrari Fi in the 90s lucky to finish a race to all those consecutive championships after 2000....... Pretty random examples there but IMO the mindset in their industry has changed and the acceptance of products here is rapidly improving......the trucks certainly had issues in the past but they wouldn't be winning military contracts overseas unless the QA picked up from the early days........I also have a feeling all the 4x4 models are made in a different factory too . That's probably a good thing in many respects.

The ML 150 is the one I want to see more of in the field.

John if my memory sserves me correct in the early days Ducati electrics only came good once they started using japanese electrics
prior to that a good days ride on a duke was one when you didnt have to push it home

WRT the Fiat I looked at the 2wd version as a tow vehicle for a mates 5th wheeler a while ago
im pretty sure the dealer said somthing along the lines of only 6 agents country wide will perform warranty work on the engine
wanna hope you break down in the right place

I had the old version of the 4x4 daily.
In 5 years all I had to fix was a universal joint and the chain tensionner for the engine.
Rust was a problem as it was used a lot on snowy and salted roads.
Otherwise trouble free. Was a reliable daily driver.

Can't wait to read your thoughts on the Ram Promaster. A Fiat Ducato with either a Fiat diesel or US V6

 

[Haf-E]

Dodge promaster is front wheel drive only... not so sure of its expo worthiness- will make a good rv i am sure.

 

[familyvan]

I hope the Iveco turns out to be super reliable, as I think it is a good looking truck.

Is the Iveco Daily 4x4 as we know it here, available in the USofA?

Geez ........how big do need?
Compare the Iveco wheels to the parked SUV next to it.
